Hey guyz howz it going ? I was wondering what would be the most effective cooling device for my Radeon 9100 Video Card ? I was also wondering how does cooling a video card help its performance and overclocking abilities ?

Cooling helps your ability to overclock up to the point where the VPU is no longer overheating. I usually make my own coolers from old Pentium sinks.

How would the Thermaltake Extreme Giant 3 work with a 9100 ?

If it fits it would work well but I don't think it is worth the expense. Just strap on any sort of little heatsink you have laying around or just replace the little fan on it with a bigger one or something. I used to just unscrew the little fans on my old vid cards and zip tie an 80mm fan onto it, lol. It looked crazy but it worked good
